Sliced clearances were his downfall as the Blues and Forest pounced, capitalised and compounded de Wijs’ current misery.

Sure, the Dutchman’s confidence will be down but I hope Nigel Adkins keeps the faith with him for Tuesday’s home tie against league leaders Norwich.

De Wijs needs to stick it out and try and come up with confidence-filling displays, whilst maintaining his concentration throughout the entire 90 minutes.

There is a player there – just take Tommy Elphick’s quotes after the defeat. His defensive partner has plenty of confidence in him and over the last three or four games, those two are striking up a partnership.

What’s more important now is that the team and manager rally round de Wijs and help him get out of the hole that he’s currently in.

He is the one that is getting criticised at the moment however only positive words in his ear will se de Wijs come out of the other side smiling. It’s a tough place to be at the moment but I’m backing the defender to come good in the end.
